The Mobile Podcasting Test, Report #1

Posted on 6:48 am by Paul Colligan

Here’s your first report on the Mobile Podcasting Test.

Could not, for the life of me, get the WLAN on the N91 to work.  I’m sure it works, I saw it work on the show floor, but it didn’t happen for me.  Got nothing to take with me on the road - it’s all Treo baby - and I haven’t even left yet.

I WILL NOT LISTEN TO RADIO ON THIS TRIP.

To Nokia’s defense, directions were for European audience who talk about WIFI in a very different way/meme than we do - I’m sure I’ll get a walkthrough once our friends overseas read this post ;-)

It was a good episode of The Unit though.

[…] Although I had problems with the WIFI element of this thing, I do like the phone a lot. I’ve been listening to some recordings on it for the last few days and like the form factor, interface, etc. When I head over to London to present at MacWorld in February, I’ll take the phone and a SIM card from Mobal and make it my Video Blogging, Podcast Listening, Phone Calling phone. Should be fun. […]

WLAN connections arent setup in Nokia Podcasting. Nokia Podcasting’s Default Access Point will only show WLAN connections which have been previously set up on your device. (For example: TOOLS>SETTINGS>CONNECTION>ACCESS POINTS)

The “Always Ask” option will show available connections (including non-hidden WLAN) when connections need to be made. Note that some WLAN connections shown might not be accessable from your device. (i.e., Restricted access. Requires password.)

See your Nokia device User Guide for instructions on how to set up a WLAN connection.

Here is a walkthrough:
Nseries Device Main Menu > Connect. > Conn. Mgr. > Availab. WLAN
If you cannot see your preferred WLAN connection from the Default Access Point, you can create a WLAN connection from the Connection Manager application on your device.

1. To search for Wireless LANs available within range, go to your Nseries Device Main menu.
2. Select Connect.
3. Select Conn. Mgr.
4. Select Availab. WLAN.
5. Highlight your preferred WLAN access point in the list
6. Open the Options menu and select Define Access Point
7.Define the settings for the selected access point

Hope that helps.
